Abstract: Provided is predictive modeling for anti-malware solutions. The predictive modeling includes an identification manager component that generates profile data for a hostile source. The hostile source is identified based on a previous threat attributed to the hostile source. The predictive modeling also includes an evaluation component that determines a characteristic of an interaction between a source and an endpoint. Further, the predictive modeling includes a validation component that compares the characteristic of the interaction with the profile data and controls access to the source by the endpoint based on the comparison. In addition, anti-malware software is not deployed on the endpoint.

Abstract: Provided is authentication and authorization without the use of supplicants. Authentication and authorization includes generating a profile for a device based on at least one characteristic observed during a successful attempt by the device to access an 802.1X network infrastructure. Expected characteristics for a next attempt to access the infrastructure by the device are determined. A characteristic of the next access attempt is matched to the expected characteristic and access to the network is selectively controlled as a result of the matching. This is achieved without a supplicant being installed on the device.
